Some people so indeed say Miz-er-a-able But between the East and the West, the shorthand is either Miz-ra-bull or Miz-er-bull... Part of the problem there is speed of pronunciation. It's possible to slur syllables together. So someone who is saying miz-err-ah-bull can slur the middle two together so it sounds like rah or err instead. But if you asked them to clearly and slowly enunciate they might easily break it back into two parts again. dainkinkaide posted...

In Middle English, it was spelled "peeple" or "peple", but because "populus" had an o in it, so too must "people". To be fair, though, "people" should have an "o" in it, because the root of the word does come from populus. If anything, what it shouldn't have is an "e". That was just a bit of a fuck up that got added in by the French and which got passed on into English, but which never should have been there in the first place. If we're going to be pompous lingustic snobs you can't really take the side of the vulgate fuckup over the actual antecedent. Also, we should all probably be speaking pre-proto-Indo-European right now, because literally everything other language humans have ever spoken is just a corruption of a previous language.
